John Mann

Mister Mann is the solo project of Spirit of the West’s front man and songwriter John Mann. After 11 albums and countless tours of the UK, Europe and North America with Spirit, December Looms is a return to Mann’s stripped down Alt Folk roots. Mann pens beautiful melodies with emotionally honest lyrics that capture the intimate moments of his hometown of Vancouver, its occupants, the fragile details of their dysfunctional love and the loss of a city’s innocence.

By Tomorrow (John Mann) Words and Music Harlan Daumann SOCANSame old words on your tongue / You fell in with the rainI built a bridge over your head / So you'd have a place to stayWe made love to all the ghosts / Under the sheets where we layWe take our drugs to drown our sorrow / All our happiness is borrowedWe're in debt that much is sure / To nights that bring the morning pureIt always echos under there / It all comes back your wayWith every word you are reminded / That war supplied your veinsSo lay the track we need it fast / I become the rapist from your pastOur blood is blue and our bones are hollow/ We'll be even sicker by tomorrowYou're lookin' for a saviour / That I can't seem to beBut I promised to get drunk with you / So we could fuck our mysteryWe take our drugs to drown our sorrow / All our happiness is borrowedOur blood is blue and our bones are hollow / We'll be even sicker by tomorrow
